Winter has arrived in Northern Michigan

Even though I try , my Dr keeps telling me all the things I should not be doing.

My life for sure…with the addition of my wife repeating what the doctor has told me.

 

[Vikingstaff]

Okay, we got our defensive lines set up. Hoping it’s enough over the next 6-8 weeks.

 

[Jack M]

Good Luck. Hopefully a dry spring for us.

I finally got over to our marina. (I drove . )
Its not looking good at all ,but at least I could see some of the docks .

I know you guys are fighting flooding. The crazy thing is that our Lake in KY is 15 ft lower than the last 2 springs and SW KY is in a drought. Our friends in Canada are fighting flooding also. Best Wishes and hope for sunny days,

My wife's cousin lives on Lake Huron about 5-7 miles east of the island . She told us that the levels on Huron are rising. Todd, have you noticed any increase in levels?

About 4-6" depending on the direction of the wind. This was dirt about a month ago

I spoke to a friend yesterday who's parents recently sold their home on Black Lake . (2025)
There is currently 2 feet of water around it and at the time they owned it ,they did not qualify for flood insurance.

My water fluctuates twice a day and sometimes a couple feet during long tides.

I remember my 1st time at Dayton beach back in 74 .
My friend parked on the beach and we went into that bar at the end of the pier. Tide came in while we were inside. Water got close to his car .

Water levels today

 

[Jack M]

Still closed

Dredge is still working our cut out to the bay. If you look at the 2 has been.

 

[Jack M]

Have you noticed any increase in levels ?
Yesterday it was reported that even Superior is up over a foot .

 

[Jack M]

The lakes and rivers are now open as of today. As much as I would like to be out there, I think it's too soon when homes are still flooded. The water still is not safe due to debris and compromised septic systems.

Even though I try , my Dr keeps telling me all the things I should not be doing.

 

[Jack M]

Now if we can get our marina open . Emmett County is still closed .

 

[Jack M]

Not even canoes or kayaks on the crooked river in Emmet county .

Our association is opening our marina this week.
Currently I am scheduled for a Wednesday 9:00 am launch .
